My reason for being late to work is ....

[Darling SilverDodger]

Is there a reason you're late ... or is it just an excuse?

It seems people will use any excuse for being late for work nowadays.

Here are some of the real-life excuses hiring managers have heard from their employees explaining their tardiness:

I got mugged and was tied to the steering wheel of my car.
My deodorant was frozen to the window sill.
My car door fell off.
It was too windy.
I dreamt I was already at work.
I had to go to the hospital because I drank antifreeze.
I had an early morning gig as a clown.
A roach crawled in my ear.
I saw an elderly lady at a bus stop and decided to pick her up.
My dog swallowed my cell phone.


So, now what your reason for being late to work?

Well Boss,  my reason for being late to work is .... the bus driver got stopping this morning for DWI and I had to wait 20 minutes for the next bus

I heard my neighbor's kid threatening to kill their pet rhinoceros beetle so I went up there all Here-I-Go-To-Save-The-Day like & reared my foot back to kick open the door.  Then, upon impact, rather than kicking the door open, I kicked a hole into it instead & there I was; foot was all banged up on the inside of my neighbor's front door while I'm on the outside yelling, "Push my foot out, PUSH MY FOOT OUT!!" All while the kid is yelling, "LA CHUPACABRA!!"

*catches breath*

...& that's why I'm late for work....  it's also why I emptied your fish tank to use as a terrarium for the rhinoceros beetle, by the way, I'd like to discuss my getting a raise right now.
